Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta may be receiving criticism for his side's perceived over-reliance on set pieces this season, but the Gunners currently sit at the top of the Premier League table and have recorded three successive wins in the Champions League, the latest being the 4-0 demolition of Atletico Madrid on Tuesday night. It represents considerable improvement to where Arsenal were in Arsene Wenger's final season in charge back in the 2017-18 campaign. Two years on from finishing in second spot, the North Londoners could only earn sixth position, their lowest for more than two decades. Arteta is still searching for the success that Wenger enjoyed between 1997 and 2004, a total of three top-flight crowns being lifted as the Gunners rivalled Manchester United and the emerging Chelsea. Seven FA Cups were incredibly won during Wenger's 22-year tenure, one which saw him accumulate 1,235 games and prevail in 707 of them. That brings him to a win percentage of 57.2%. Nevertheless, by comparison, Arteta is on 59.27% from 302 matches in charge, emphasising the incredible job that the Spaniard is doing at the Emirates Stadium despite the ongoing wait for more silverware, in particular the Premier League trophy and a first-ever Champions League. That all said, to mark what is Arsene Wenger's 76th birthday, Sports Mole challenges you to name his final starting XI, which was for a Premier League game against Huddersfield Town at the John Smith's Stadium.
